If you have any uninstall entries for Gimp 3 then uninstall and check that no Gimp files remain. Used to be that, a Windows restart was needed and a final manual delete. A Windows restart is not a bad idea, might stop legacy files running.
Then try a new install. You previously accepted the default, this time install for All Users. Just my opinion but I follow this sequence.
(1) Install for all users (2) Customize (3) Keep the default install location (4) You can save a little disk space by unticking debug / dev files / translations (5) desktop icon if you want one
Keep going until Gimp installs.
Just for reference, the Win 11 Gimp 3.2 files.
I thought about this issue and I managed to correct it.
What I did was to install the Inkscape app.
In the bin directory of Inkscape, I found libbrotlcommon.dll
I then instituted a Gimp 3.2.6 install and received the expected llibrotcommon.dll not found error which halted the gimp installation.
I then copied the libbrotlcommon.dll from the bin directory of Inkscape to the bin directory of gimp 3.
I then proceeded with the gimp installation skipping the dll file not found error.
After the gimp installation was complete, I shut down windows
I then started my windows PC again and now Gimp started normally with the 3.2.6.version.
thanks
